Yes Eringobragh, I think you may be right! <3

I have managed to get in contact with great granddad William's, niece's son.

Who I am hoping will fill in some gaps about Henry Mathis's side, my great granddads brother.

As for my great great granddad their father William Otto Mathis born in Switzerland/Germany I think past that, it will always be a mystery.

Thank you for all your help. I couldn't of found that relative without you all.

Am pleased to hear you managed to get in touch but Rome wasn't built in a day and you may find other leads to Wm Otto from other sources ..You never know what's round the corner.

Family Search is free and does have some European BMD here's a link

Yes I have use family search lots. I have just this afternoon got access to my distant relatives tree. And I am shocked how much I got right from family search.

I now chasing my taylor side, I have found my nan's granddads records, 2 census and baptism... Can hardly read what they say.. May take a while.

<3

If you post the Taylor details that you have I am sure members on here will be able to help.

Just in case any helpers are wondering about the Scottish side of Naiomi's family -

Rather than mix it up with this Mathis / Taylor thread, Naiomi PM'd me some details, and I've PM'd back all that I can find without spending credits on SP, plus some census and travel records.

Have gone as far back as I can be sure of accuracy, based on what she told me. If she wants to know anything further back, she'll have to buy credits to look at images of certs, to find out people's parents' names.

I have just paid for a small search for Scottish side, cost a fortune. Scraping by on min wage. They say times were hard in times of old. My great great grandparents had 4 servants, I can't even afford a dishwasher :-D :-D ha ha

So my nan Violet who married who married William Mathis B.1907

Her mother was Janet Nichols B.1897 London. Married Harry L Taylor B.1894. I think.

They had 6 children. I have all their details.

Then Harry's dad I think was
Herbert Lothian Taylor B.1868
and his mother Mary Little (I think) B.1864 approx

I think he had 5 brothers/sisters
Annie (1892)
William (1896)
Margaret (1901)
Doris (1904)
Herbert (1906)
No further details on them.

Their father Herbert Lothian Taylor if I am right had 9 brothers/sisters
William (1864)
Albert (1865)
Harry (1867)
Louisa (1871)
Florence (1874)
Charles (1876)
Percy (1887)
Ethel (1888)
Ernest (1890) These could be all wrong :-( :-(

I then have Herbert's father as William Taylor born approx 1825
And Herbert's mother as Louisa (No maiden name) born around 1836.

99% most London/Middlesex area. I paid to see some census's and baptism records for Herbert, which is how I have above. If I have read it write. Then looked at free census records to try and tie the rest. (Could be all wrong) <3

1911 census says they'd been married 19 years, which would be c1892.
I don't see the marriage of a Herbert Taylor to any woman surnamed Little around that time.

Margaret / Marjorie was born in Feltham, Middlesex.
This will be her birth :

Births Mar 1864 (>99%)
LITTLE Margaret Ann Elizabeth Staines 3a 3

I have all below but had Mary as Marjorie ?
There seems to be a few spellings I ha Mary, but above she is down as Marjorie and Margare. All the rest I have, thank you for confirming. So helpful, and nice that there are still folks in the world willing to help out a complete stranger. :-)

The page number for Margaret's marriage should be 1062, not 1052 - it's hard to read.

Love this bit....


" I have his son my G Grandfather and future daughter in law in 11 Vigo street Westminster in 1891."
Herbert was disinherited for marrying the family servant :-(. (Oral history) !!

This is great, I had Nightingale, but wasn't sure. Wonder if there i any distant relation to ''Florence'' ha ha

I also have william taylor born approx 1885 a his dad being John taylor so this i good.
I have siblings as possibly
Eliza
Charlotte
Louisa
John
George

And that John their dad's wife was possibly, Martha (no surname) Again it could ll be wrong, but part matches up with your search :-)

ohI have seen vigo street some where on my travels.
